well, it started out as a good day...
I went to work, the traffic wasn't bad, I came home, took the dogs to the vet, and everything was fine. That was clearly BEFORE noon.
Then I whacked my forehead on a tree chasing the puppy, scared her (no big deal, I just put a little pressure on her shot site when I picked her up and it hurt) and then spent the afternoon trying to get her to calm down.
i quit.
...and... there's no video of the noggin crashing? Too bad. [sigh]
Puppy pictures, then? ;)

I adopted a dog. A Dalmatian. I was told she was trained and well over a year old. She was very cute.
1) She had no training whatsoever, including housetraining. No sit, no stay, no come.
2) She was about 5 months old and in full on "teething" mode. Not a well trained 1.5 year old.
3) She suffered from seperation anxiety which could only be relieved by chewing up an entire sofa, guest bed and $800.00 wool rug to name just a few.
4) Did I mention that just seeing a human being would make her pee herself, whine, bark cry and run away? (Everyone but me.. I am MOMMY.)
Nightmare. She's great now but man were those first 4 months were a scream. It was more like COCKTAILS, rather than cocktail.
Good luck!
P.S. even though I'd have rather not gone through that, she is really the dearest little girl. She still has some fear issues and doesn't come when called until she feels like it, but she is a little angel now.
